We are offering for a limited time this special Arabian mare (Im an Imdahl) who is bred for a Spring 2014 foal out of Blackberry a Friesian stallion. We will sell her for $8000 which will include her baby! This is a great two for the price of one deal that won’t last long! Contact us for more information.

We are proud to offer Jajan’s 2012 Arabian Cross filly RG Ashakira. She has lots of potential. We are just waiting for paperwork to be returned for her IALHA and AHA registrations (registered as Half-Andalusian and Half-Arabian….show in both arenas!). Get her now before someone else snatches her up!

Nationals was another fun and exciting week spent with so many beautiful horses. Every class had great competitors! Competition was very tough this year with so many top quality Andalusians here in Fort Worth! We had great results with the three horses we took. Special thanks to Pedro Toribio, Anna Young, Jane and Chuck Harrison, Savannah Harrington, Carla Balderas, Amy Lamberth, Addison Bobel, Kim Harrington, Celeste Lamberth, Victoria and Carlos Balderas, Karissa Boyce, Laura Hernandez, and Ramiro Garcia. The Rancho Godinez team had an awesome show! Here is the list of our awards:

SK Sonata with Pedro Toribio

Top 5 – National Champion Spanish Fillies 2 and under Top 5 – National Grand Champion Andalusian Fillies 2 and under

Just a quick update because I haven’t really had much time to keep the website up-to-date. First off, Jajan LGD is home from training with Marta Renilla and I’m loving him being here. He is such a gentleman under saddle. I’m not sure when he will be going back into training, we had a little bit of a delay this year….if you want details, you can ask Marta :) He will be bak to work soon and I’m sure he’ll be even better than ever! Ganador RC has been doing great…he was a bit delayed as Anna Young couldn’t work with him this summer (again if you want details, ask Anna). He’s learning either way with Pedro and I and he just needs some serious miles and wet saddle blankets under his belt. We are pretty much done with our breeding season…so far 11 confirmed pregnancies at Rancho Godinez! We have one more mare that we bought late in the season that we plan to breed soon so that would make a total of 12 babies next year! Monday, we are taking several horses for their revision with the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse. I’m a bit nervous as this is the first time I’ve ever been to a revision. IALHA Nationals is coming up VERY soon….we will be taking Banbury Damascada, SK Sonata, Magico’s Masterpiece for sure. We have room for one more horse in the trailer and we are still trying to decide between RG Travieso, Ganador RC, RG Ashakira, and Diamante. I have one more week before we have to get the entry in! Then, we have the Feathered Horse Classic in November for Jorik Kula and Jantiene Kula.

If you are wondering what’s up at Rancho Godinez, I can sum it up in one word… BUSY!!!! While we haven’t been to many of the shows, we are having a very busy breeding season. We are training both Ganador RC and Jorik Kula to the breeding dummy which has it’s own challenges (look for a funny video of Ganador coming when I can find the time). At this time we have four mares confirmed in foal: two to Jorik, one to Jajan, and another to Ganador. We have two more to check this next week! We have tried a couple of embryo transfers, but unfortunately they did not result in pregnancies. Jajan will be showing 4th level at the Houston Dressage Society Summer Show. This weekend, I’m in Phoenix for the IALHA Board of Directors meeting. I’m enjoying the peace and quiet this evening before we get started bright and early in the morning.

This week was absolutely amazing! It started with a visit from my family. Then we had a class on Ultrasounding Mares taught by Jim Kubiak of The Breeder’s Assistant. We made some wonderful friends…I’m so sad to see them go. I think there may be some new things coming at Rancho Godinez including some big surprises. We will soon be offering freezing semen services. Tomorrow we head out to Pin Oak. Enjoy some of the pictures of our new friends that took the class.
